Which process contributes to the formation of thermohaline stratification in deep lakes during winter?

💡 Explanation

When surface water cools, its density increases because cold water is denser than warm water, causing it to sink. Therefore, density increase causes stratification, rather than salinity changes, algal blooms altering radiation or wind mixing the layers.
